You can but FB has the most MAU's. I believe after FB Skype is the biggest. Is it easy to build bots on multiple platforms?

Personally I'm staying away from Kik. Their MAU is low and I really dislike their constant spam.

I'm blanking on any names right now, but I've seen a few startups recently working on platforms for building bots with integrations to multiple different services. No doubt one or more of these will add Messenger support. There are also open source projects like Lita[0], BotBuilder[1], and Hubot[2] which give a nice abstraction layer.
